Thank you for your kind post and glad you got the point precisely.
Although the Declartion lacks the force of law in our Republic and we here in the USA live in a Republic, NOT a democracy; that whole "democracy" thing being a myth which began to be promulgated during the FDR administration, the Declartion clearly shows the Founding Father's thoughts prior to enactment of the Constitution.
sort of like, "OK, we have the ABSOLUTE RIGHT to revolt and change the government if that government becomes oppressive so we are enacting this Constitution but remember, those of who you will hold future elecetive and administrative office, if you fuck it up, please see the Declaration!
On Treason in The Constitution:
http://www.lectlaw.com/def2/t103.htm
"The Constitution of the United States, Art. III, defines treason against the United States to consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid or comfort. This offence is punished with death. By the same article of the Constitution, no person shall be convicted of treason, unless on the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act, or on confession in open court."
It will be noted that revolution is not "making war" against the states.
Secession is even legal in the USA according to the Supreme court:

Attempts at or aspirations of secession from the United States have been a feature of the country's politics since its birth. Some have argued for a constitutional right of secession and others for a natural right of revolution. The United States Supreme Court ruled unilateral secession unconstitutional while commenting that revolution or consent of the states could lead to a successful secession.
